{"product_id":"los-kintos-lp","title":"Los Kintos","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2023 repress. Vampisoul present a first time reissue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLos Kintos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e' self-titled album, originally released in 1970. In the late sixties, a generation of young Peruvian musicians, who were fans of tropical sounds, chose Cuban rhythms over the onslaught of boogaloo and Colombian cumbia. This musical movement attracted a legion of young followers, mostly from popular districts of Lima. In 1969, percussionist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDomingo Guzmán Villanueva\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was commissioned by the MAG record label to get together a group to revive Cuban musical tradition. To lead the project he recruited, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrancisco \"Pancho\" Acosta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, founder and guitarist of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompay Quinto\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The new group was baptized Los Kintos, in a nod to their desire to carry on playing in the Compay Quinto style. The link between the two groups appears on this first album, as the group's name is written in two different ways: Los Kintos, on the front cover; and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLos Quintos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, on the back. Recordings began in 1969 and included the stunning \"Descarga Kinto\", \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichie Ray\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBobby Cruz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's original \"Pancho Cristal\" -- renamed here \"Pancho Guzmán\" -- and Cuban classics from the repertoire of the historic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrio Matamoros\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e like \"Lágrimas Negras\" or \"Mentiras\", all with lead vocals by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKiko Fuentes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The success of their concerts would take them on tours across the country, always recognized as outstanding figures of Cuban music in Peru. This reissue brings back an album that marked a milestone in the history of Peruvian tropical music and revives the fame of the group's legendary live performances.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52697653674263,"sku":"VAMPI 261LP","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/6983\/6055\/files\/LosKintos.jpg?v=1776745947","url":"https:\/\/sisyphusrecordworks.com\/products\/los-kintos-lp","provider":"Sisyphus Record Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
